“I am unjust, but I can strive for justice. My life's unkind, but I can vote for kindness. I, the unloving, say life should be lovely. I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness.”
Vachel Lindsay
“Except the Christ be born again tonightIn dreams of all men, saints and sons of shame,The world will never see his kingdom bright.”
